Lighting your front door.
Kicking off Springtime with some serious April showers, we have been delighted by the sunshine finally showing its face! With Summer on the horizon, we need to start thinking seriously about the state of our garden, especially our front door - after all, that’s the first thing your visitors see when they come to your home!
At houseof, we believe that lighting your front door is not only important for safety reasons but also for adding some serious style to your home's exterior. Here's why:
Why Lighting Your Front Door is Important for Safety
First off, let's talk safety. Lighting up your front door and porch area is one of the easiest and most effective ways to deter potential burglars or unwanted visitors. A well-lit front door is a clear sign that your home is protected and well-maintained. That's why we offer a variety of front door light options, including porch lights and outside front door lights that are perfect for illuminating your entryway.
But just because it's important for safety doesn't mean your front door lighting has to be boring. In fact, we believe that your lighting fixtures should be just as stylish as they are functional...
The Lantern Wall Light - Sand and Charcoal
We're especially excited about our lantern wall light. It's a fresh and modern take on the classic lantern style, with a deconstructed wall design and a glass globe that emits warm and inviting light. It's also waterproof and safe for outdoor use, making it perfect for lighting up your front porch or entryway.
What Sets the Lantern Wall Light Apart from Traditional Lantern Style Lighting
But what sets the lantern wall light apart from traditional lantern style lighting is its unique design. It's not your average lantern - it's got an edgy and modern feel that'll make your front door area stand out from the rest. And let's be real, who wants to be average anyway? It's the perfect addition to any home's front door area, providing both style and security.
Charcoal Grey Hanging Globe Wall Light
One of our favourite options is the Charcoal grey hanging globe wall light. It's a versatile piece that can be used both indoors and outdoors, and it's perfect for illuminating your front door area. When installing outdoor lighting, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Tips for Installing Outdoor Lighting
Placement: Make sure your light is placed in an area that's easily accessible for maintenance. Consider installing lights above or below eye level, as this can help reduce glare and create a more comfortable lighting effect.
Brightness: You don't want your front door area to be too bright, but you also don't want it to be too dark. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a light that's around 60-100 watts, or to look for fixtures with dimmer options.
Style: Your front door light should complement your home's overall aesthetic, so choose a fixture that matches your home's style and color scheme. The Charcoal grey hanging globe wall light is a great option if you're looking for something sleek and modern.
Security: While lighting your front door area is important for safety reasons, it's also important to consider installing a separate security light. This can help deter intruders and keep your home even safer.
In conclusion, lighting your front door area is not just a matter of safety but also a great opportunity to add some serious style to your home's exterior. At houseof, we believe that choosing the right fixtures can make a world of difference, and we're excited to offer a wide variety of options for any home's style and needs.
